Most dogs bark, howl and whine to some degree. Excessive barking is considered a behavior problem. Before you can correct barking, determine why your dog is vocalizing in the first place. These are the most common types of barking:
- Warning or Alert
- Playfulness/Excitement
- Attention-seeking
- Anxiety
- Boredom
Responding to Other Dogs Learn to control excessive barking. Be consistent and patient. Also, consider teaching the Bark/Quiet Commands. Dedication and attention to detail can go a long way.
